Crandall Canyon mine owner Robert Murray has been subpoenaed to appear before a House committee, Jesse Russell reports:

Last year the world watched as the tragic events at Utah’s Crandall Canyon Mine unfolded. Six miners and three rescue workers perished during the incident and when the U.S. House Education and Labor Committee held hearings shortly thereafter to investigate, mine co-owner Robert Murray refused to voluntarily make an appearance. At the time Committee Chairman George Miller vowed that he would continue to pursue the investigation:

[Miller]: “Let me be very clear: this committee will not be deterred from getting all of the information we need to do our independent investigation. We will not tolerate obstruction or delay by either the Department or by the company in pursuit of that information and this investigation.”
